An eyebrow fixing giveaway

When I was 12 I would flip through Seventeen magazine looking for hairstyles to try, outfits to concoct, and products to MUST HAVE!

When I was 14 I would flip though Cosmopolitan magazine looking for hairstyles to try, outfits to concoct, and products to MUST HAVE!

Although both my reading selections and my idea of what it is to be a woman have morphed, I still can't stand a shabby eyebrow. All too often though, I can be found sporting one. Like this bad momma in super poor lighting:

Ugh, hard to take even myself serious like that. I have some pretty blunt friends so I am surprised no one has scheduled an intervention.

Back to my teenage choice of magazines....

every third issue had a Tweezerman in the MUST HAVE section. They must have paid the magazines!

Anyhow, I always wanted one, but have stuck this whole time to the cheap Revlon tweezers that would close uneven and I would have to hold up to the light to see where the hair should actually be when the apparatus closes in order to really grasp the stub of hair.

Now with a family of five I just don't have time to mess with that. And really, that silly excuse of a styling implement should NEVER be okay.

So I didn't get my Tweezerman, but I think I got something better, and you can too!

The 42 BEES slant tip tweezer is the best I have ever used (and I have BORROWED a tweezerman). The entire tip closes firmly including the point. It has a mini comb on the end to perfect that groom, and even comes in a resealable little tube so you can store YOUR tweezer away for yourself (and not for your husband's toolbox! Tell me I am not alone in this one!)

Speaking of the husband I would love to clean up the Ogre's eyebrows with these. Anybody want that video? ;) Let me know, really, peer pressure works! (and his eyebrows are getting a little, ahem, SPRY!)

I also use tweezers to get slivers out...and have a cheap pair that I use for the dishwasher for when something gets stuck in the water holes. (I also have a couple cheap ones that I use to clear drains!

We use tweezers for splinters, to pick off ticks, and I have a separate pair of tweezers that I use in the kitchen for decorating cakes/cupcakes, etc with.. perfect for placing small sprinkles in just the right places!
